evening with the cats. tragedy strikes, not particularly near me.
Work was unfulfilling today. I was sent in four directions at once, and ended up spending most of the day working on a problem I could neither diagnose nor test my guesswork fixes for. I don't like wasting others' time, really I don't. Jay will be back in tomorrow, and he can figure it out then. I have other things I can work on, things that I can actually accomplish. I'll get on that tomorrow.
Tonight, Carin and I went to meet the Cats halfway between our place and theirs. (She read to me from The Demon-Haunted World, which is paradoxically quite interesting while being very light, easy reading as well.) As the Cat is now employed (he starts March 1), he'll have to decorate his office with soothing landscape paintings and such, which Carin is mocking up some sketches for. I may donate a print of that sailboat picture to the left, because it's the sort of thing a professional would have hanging around their office.
My father called me while we were out to tell me that Linda--of Gene-and-Linda--had just died. I hadn't seen her in several years, and the last time I'd seen her, she'd lost her hair from chemo. Apart from my father, I don't even think I'm still in contact with anyone who knew her. Part of drifting away from the scene. Still, sad. I'd blown off one or two hello-type overtures over the last year or two, and that's going to stick with me.
Speaking of, one of Ben's friends died last week; we spoke of it with the Cats. I feel like something of a bad person for not remembering who he was, based on the name sent out in the email. I really do wish I could remember something about him, so I know whether or not to go to the memorial service--I haven't decided whether to or not at this point.
Good time out talking with the Cats, but I seriously overate--I wasn't expecting us to split an epic sundae four ways. I spent most of the late evening back on the couch, sweating and reminding myself that moderation can be fun too.
